Chapter 131: Jade Pendant
The next morning, although Lin Xi told Huo Yunshen last night, she must get up early, so as not to make the old man think that she was lazy. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test
But when Lin Xi woke up, it was already half past nine, Lin Xi looked at the empty half of the bed next to him, and secretly scolded Huo Yunshen for not waking her up.
You must know that the elderly don't sleep much, the old man usually gets up at six o'clock, Lin Xi ran to the old house as a guest, but he slept until nine o'clock, which is really unusual.
She hurriedly got up to wash, and hurriedly ran downstairs, Huo Yunshen sat in the living room, saw Lin Xi coming down, and smiled: "Woke up?"
Lin Xi complained and said, "Why don't you wake me up? What time is it? The old man should be unhappy again!"
Huo Yunshen smiled slightly: "It was too hard last night, let you sleep a little longer." “
Lin Xi punched him: "Such a big person, why is he not serious!"
Huo Yunshen took her hand, hugged her into his arms, and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa and Xiaoyu went out early in the morning." “
"Where are you going?" asked Lin Xi.
"Xiao Yu said that he wanted to accompany the old man to go out for a walk, so the old and the young went out at seven o'clock, and you have to thank your baby son for letting you sleep a little longer. Huo Yunshen said.
Lin Xi let out a sigh of relief and asked again, "Is it okay for them to go out like this?" Wouldn't it be safe?"
"Don't worry," Huo Yunshen comforted: "I'll let the bodyguards follow me every step of the way, and it'll be fine." “
Lin Xi nodded and said, "I don't know what's wrong, my eyelids have been jumping around lately, and I feel unsteady when I can't see you and Xiaoyu for a while." “
Huo Yunshen hugged her into his arms and whispered, "It's me who is not good and makes you insecure." “
Lin Xi smiled and hugged Huo Yunshen back: "Don't talk nonsense, there's nothing." “
The two of them sat in the living room for a while, and Lin Xi went to the kitchen and saw that breakfast was ready. These two people haven't come back yet, Lin Xi began to be a little worried, and urged Huo Yunshen: "Why don't you make a call?" Let them come back for breakfast, it's been two hours of walking." “
Huo Yunshen nodded: "Okay, I'll call them back." “
As soon as the words fell, Huo Yu's crisp voice came from outside: "Mommy!"
Lin Xi saw Huo Yu running in, so she was relieved, she walked over and picked up Huo Yu, and said, "Why did you walk for so long?"
Huo Yu said with a smile: "Because my grandfather and I went to buy good things for Mommy!"
"Really, what is a good thing?" Lin Xi asked with a smile.
Huo Yu ran to the housekeeper, brought over a beautiful little box, and said, "Mommy, this is for you!"
The pink box is tied with a ribbon on it. Lin Xi opened it, and there was a beautiful red apple inside, Huo Yu said with a smile: "Christmas is coming, my grandfather and I are going to buy apples!"
Huo Yunshen walked over and took a look, and said, "Running so far just to buy apples?"
The housekeeper immediately explained: "No, no, it was an old man who sold apples on the way, it was freezing on this day, and it looked strange and pitiful, so the little master and the old man bought it, and there was a very beautiful package in it, and the little master specially took it back and gave it to Miss Tang." “
Lin Xi looked at Huo Yu, and Huo Yu immediately nodded: "Yes, yes, the old man is carrying a box of apples alone, so pitiful." “
Lin Xi touched Huo Yu's head with a smile and said, "Xiao Yu is great!
got Lin Xi's praise, which made Huo Yu very happy, the old man took Huo Yu to wash his hands and prepare for dinner, Lin Xi looked at Huo Yu's back, and said beautifully: "My son sent it to me!"
Huo Yunshen looked at Lin Xi's little show-off, shook his head helplessly, Lin Xi took the apple out of the box and said, "Why is this box so big?"
She poked the bottom layer of the box, the inside was empty, Lin Xi had seen a lot of boxes of this kind, the bottom layer was hollowed out to make the box bigger, but in fact, the contents inside were very small.
Lin Xi saw something inside through the faint gap, she poked curiously, to make sure that there was something hard inside, Lin Xi put the apple on the sofa, and carefully opened the box to avoid damaging the gift given by Huo Yu.
Then, the bottom layer of the box was completely opened, and inside was a beautiful jade pendant of excellent color, with a red rope hanging from it.
Lin Xi glanced at it, his face changed greatly, and the jade pendant slipped from his hand and fell on the coffee table with a crisp sound.
Huo Yunshen immediately asked, "Little Wu, what's wrong?"
Lin Xi pointed to the jade pendant and said, "That??" That one is in the box!"
Huo Yunshen picked it up and looked at it, but he didn't see anything abnormal, but Lin Xi seemed to be very frightened, Huo Yunshen asked anxiously, "Little Wu, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Xi shrank into Huo Yunshen's arms and said, "That??" That's what Huo Qi gave me!"
"What?" Huo Yunshen was shocked.
Lin Xi told him the origin of this jade pendant, it was five years ago, after Lin Xi was pregnant, he learned that Huo Yunshen and Yin Shi were about to get married, she was sullen in the Tang family, Huo Qi gave this to her, what did he say at the time, Lin Xi had almost forgotten it for so many years, but when he saw this piece of jade again, those memories suddenly came out.
Huo Qi said: "I know everything, but I won't hurt you." “
He also said, "I can help you leave Jiangcheng at any time, as long as you want." “
At that time, she was still Tang Wei, and she didn't take this matter to heart at all, and later, she did leave, but she left in such a cruel and decisive way, without asking Huo Qi for anything.
After so many years, Lin Xi has almost forgotten about this matter, and she can't even remember where she put this jade pendant, but now, the jade pendant five years ago was placed in front of her, and she forcibly pulled back all her memories.
Lin Xi grabbed the corner of Huo Yunshen's clothes and said, "Yunshen, what does he mean, where did he find it?"
Huo Yunshen hugged Lin Xi and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, it's okay." “
"No, he must have found an identical piece, maybe I remembered it wrongly, I couldn't find it myself, how could he find it?" Lin Xi stood up and said, "I have to go back and look for it, he must be scaring us!"
"Little Five!" Huo Yunshen grabbed her: "Don't go." “
Lin Xi shook his head: "Huo Yunshen, I have to go and see with my own eyes." “
Huo Yunshen couldn't resist her, so he could only accompany her, and the two of them hurriedly said hello to the old man and went out, telling the bodyguards to be optimistic about Old Man Huo and Huo Yu, and not to go out today.
Huo Yunshen drove Lin Xi to the apartment, that was where she raised her baby, she hadn't come back for so many years, she finally found a place, but there was no key, Lin Xi anxiously hammered the doorbell. But the door was opened.
A middle-aged man walked out and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who are you?"
The man looked at Lin Xi strangely and said, "I'm a resident here!"
Lin Xi was stunned, he was a resident? This is Lin Xi's house, how can there be other residents?
"How can you be a resident? this is my house!" Lin Xi said immediately.
The man was obviously stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "Are you the landlord? No, I signed a contract with a man, and his daughter looks different from you!"
Lin Xi reacted immediately, when she was away, Tang Weishan rented the house to someone else, and this man saw Tang Qianqian, not her.
Because before Liu Ruyun left, he didn't know what method he used, almost transferred Tang Weishan's property to Lin Xi's name, and forced her to sign, so Tang Weishan couldn't sell the house in a hurry, so he could only fool others to rent out the house.
Lin Xi couldn't care so much, she pushed the door and walked in, and asked, "How long have you lived here?"
The man pulled her: "What are you doing? Do you know that you are trespassing on a private house?"
Huo Yunshen opened the man's hand and said coldly, "Answer the question!"
The man looked at Huo Yunshen's eyes, shrank back, and said, "Two??" It's been two or three years??"
Lin Xi took out the jade pendant from his pocket and asked, "When you moved in, did you see this thing?"
The man immediately shook his head: "No, when I moved in, there were a lot of women's clothes and children's diapers here, they were dirty and messy, if it weren't for the cheap rent, I wouldn't have come! I cleaned inside and out five times, and I didn't see anything of value!"
Lin Xi stretched out the jade pendant in front of him and said, "Look at it again, haven't you really seen it?"
"I haven't seen it! Who the hell are you!" the man became impatient.
Lin Xi could only put away the jade pendant, looked at the apartment that had been changed beyond recognition, turned around and walked out, and heard the man behind him muttering while closing the door: "Neurotic, right??"
Lin Xi sighed. said, "Do you want to go back to Tang's house to have a look?" “
"Okay, I'll go back with you. Huo Yunshen nodded.
The two of them drove to the Tang family again, and the Tang family in Lin Xi's memory was very glamorous under Liu Ruyun's care, but now, the Tang family's villa felt a little dilapidated, and there were no servants in the yard who were busy coming and going, Lin Xi rang the doorbell and waited for a long time before Tang Weishan staggered out and opened the door.
Lin Xi looked at Tang Weishan and frowned, the last time he saw Tang Weishan, although this man was down, he was still a little energetic, and he was bent on how to get more money from her in order to save his company.
But today, Tang Weishan was full of cigarettes and alcohol, he felt like he hadn't taken a bath for many days, and his clothes were very shabby, and he didn't know what dust or soup was on them, and he was sloppy.
Tang Weishan saw Lin Xi, was stunned for a moment, and said, "What are you doing here?"
"Open the door, I've got something to look for you. Lin Xi said.
Tang Weishan snorted coldly: "What can you do to find me? What else could there be!"
Tang Weishan was indignant, last time, he originally wanted to use public opinion to suppress Lin Xi, so that Lin Xi would give in and give him more money to seal his mouth, but he didn't expect that Lin Xi was not relying on Huo Yunshen at all, but the Lin family in Europe, her biological father was rich and rivaled the country, and easily resolved this crisis.
Lin Xi is safe, but Tang Weishan is like a rat crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats him, and he is being abused everywhere on the Internet, like a vampire, even if he doesn't educate Lin Xi, he still has to take money from her.
Tang Weishan not only did not keep the company, but let the Tang family decline faster until he went bankrupt, and now he is in debt and unable to repay, and the bank will soon come to take away his car and house for auction to repay the loan.
Tang Weishan has been sitting in the villa for two days and two nights, and if he doesn't drink a few more bottles of wine and smoke a few more cigarettes, he won't be able to touch these in the future!
Lin Xi turned his head to look at Huo Yunshen, and Huo Yunshen said, "The Tang clan is bankrupt. “
"Yes! I'm bankrupt! Are you satisfied?" Tang Weishan shouted: "Tang Yan! You are a broom star! You and your mother have ruined my family! Your wife is separated! You are satisfied!"
Lin Xi looked at Tang Weishan's hysterical appearance, but he didn't have much feeling in his heart, whose fault is it for this mess of the Tang family?
If Tang Weishan was honest with Liu Ruyun and had children, with Liu Ruyun's shrewdness, he would never let the Tang family come to this day.
Then Liu Ruyun would not have picked up Lin Xi home, and there would be no later Tang Yu and Huo Yunshen.
Who is to blame for this? She really doesn't know.
Tang Weishan stood in the door and shouted, Huo Yun looked at him coldly and said, "Open the door." “
"Mr. Huo, don't feel that you have covered the sky with one hand in Jiangcheng! I have nothing now, this is my home! My house! No one wants to come in!" Tang Weishan roared angrily.
Huo Yunshen glanced at him stunned: "One million, open the door." “
Tang Weishan was stunned for a moment: "What?"
Lin Xi reacted immediately, she pulled the corner of Huo Yunshen's clothes, and said, "Huo Yunshen, don't you need this??"
Huo Yunshen repeated: "One million, open the door." “
Tang Weishan only hesitated for a moment, and immediately opened the door, Huo Yunshen pulled Lin Xi in, walked all the way to the living room, and said, "Go, I'll wait for you here." “
Lin Xi ran upstairs, rushed into his room first, and turned it inside and out, it seemed that after she left, Tang Weishan did not touch this room, Lin Xi quickly searched all the places, but found nothing.
She ran to Tang Qianqian's room again, which had long been turned into a utility room by Liu Ruyun, Lin Xi could only give up, she turned to Tang Weishan's bedroom, the drawers and cabinets were all turned over, and there was nothing.
When Lin Xi was rummaging through the cabinets and trying to find a trace of the jade pendant, Tang Weishan looked at Huo Yunshen with a smile, he rubbed his hands and said, "Mr. Huo, that one million??"
"I'll have the secretary transfer to your account. Huo Yunshen said.
"Okay, okay! Thank you, Mr. Huo, me??" Tang Weishan wanted to say something more.
Huo Yunshen interrupted him: "Xiao Wu is not your daughter, there are some things, just keep your mouth shut." “
Tang Weishan was stunned for a moment and nodded: "I know, I won't talk nonsense." “
Huo Yunshen couldn't hear others say that Lin Xi was not good at all, others said that he could teach them a lesson, but Tang Weishan said that he couldn't do anything.
Even if Lin Xi said that Tang Weishan had no blood relationship with her, and Tang Weishan was not her father, Huo Yunshen knew that if it was really time for Tang Weishan to be cornered, Lin Xi would not let go, she was the hardest, but she was also the most fragile and soft-hearted.
Lin Xi ran down from the upper floor, rushed to Tang Weishan, took out the jade pendant, and asked, "Have you seen this?"
Tang Weishan was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "I haven't seen it." “
"Think about it, you really haven't seen it?" Lin Xi asked.
Tang Weishan still shook his head: "I really haven't seen it." “
Lin Xi silently took back the jade pendant and stuffed it into her bag, she tossed for so long, just to want a comfort, maybe, Huo Qi was just scaring her, maybe, he just found the same thing to disrupt her life.
But now, the facts are in front of her, the jade pendant she never cared about is gone, she rummaged through the cabinets and didn't find it everywhere, because it was taken away by Huo Qi, and the jade pendant is now in her bag, but she doesn't want to admit it.
She didn't want to admit it, let alone admit it.
If a person can easily take your things, which you can't find anywhere on your own, then how well does this person know about you? know more about your life? know that what you leave behind, he knows where it is, and takes it quietly.
Lin Xi was frightened, like an invisible hand pinching her heart, Huo Qi invaded her life like ubiquitous air.
Huo Yunshen walked over, took Lin Xi's hand, and said, "Let's go, let's go home." “
Lin Xi nodded, and followed Huo Yunshen out, but Tang Weishan's voice came from behind him: "Mr. Huo, what about my one million??"
He was afraid that the money he had finally gotten in his hands would fly away because Lin Xi didn't find what she wanted.
Huo Yunshen didn't look back, but Lin Xi paused, she turned around and looked at Tang Weishan carefully from head to toe.
For so many years, she never seemed to face this man, she didn't dare when she was a child, because Tang Weishan was always so high, only Tang Qianqian could sit in his arms and be coquettish, and later she hated him. hated herself as Tang Weishan's daughter.
But now, she is not Tang Wei, she is Lin Xi, she has her own home and her own father, she is no longer afraid of Tang Weishan, and she has already let go of those hatreds.
Tang Weishan was stared at by her and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Lin Xi looked at him and asked, "You just scolded me for being a broom star, and my mother is also a broom star, right?"
Tang Weishan stopped talking all of a sudden, he scolded just now. It's because he's angry, so he blurts out those words, but now that a million is about to arrive, he won't continue to scold!
Tang Weishan didn't speak, and Lin Xi asked again: "You have come to this point, do you think it was me and my mother who caused it?"
Tang Weishan was stunned, he just said casually, where did he think that Lin Xi would still go over old accounts with him, not to mention, Lin Xi's original relationship with Liu Ruyun was not very good, so he wouldn't have trouble with him because of this sentence, right?
Lin Xi smiled mockingly and said, "Mr. Tang." Your life is a failure, and it has nothing to do with me, with my mother, all of this is your own fault!"
"Me??" Tang Weishan still wanted to defend himself.
Lin Xi directly interrupted him: "Huo Yunshen promised you one million, I don't agree, he won't give you a penny!"
Tang Weishan suddenly became anxious: "Tang Yan, why are you doing this!"
"Just because I don't owe you anything! I don't owe you! Huo Yunshen doesn't owe you either! So, don't you want to get a penny from me!" Lin Xi glared angrily, and his momentum did not diminish in the slightest.
Tang Weishan shouted: "Tang Yan, how did I raise you so big, you??"
Lin Xi ignored Tang Weishan's shouts and left the villa without looking back.
She really couldn't listen to Tang Weishan's accusations against their mother and daughter, Tang Weishan cheated on Lin Yalan back then, Liu Ruyun lost his lover and best friend overnight, twenty years of lying on the salary and tasting courage, how much hatred should there be, Liu Ruyun can endure humiliation and burden for so many years, just to take revenge on the Tang family?
So later, the old man of the Tang family died, Lin Yalan and Tang Qianqian were swept away, Tang Weishan's career failed, Liu Ruyun did all this, admitted his sins, went to prison, went to prison, and then died in the hospital.
In the best years of a woman's life, Liu Ruyun spent all her time on hatred, so hated that she didn't have the heart to love Tang Yan, let alone love herself, all she thought about was revenge.
It is not too much to say that Tang Weishan destroyed Liu Ruyun, so Tang Weishan was destroyed by Liu Ruyun in turn, what is wrong?
Huo Yunshen followed her out, pulled her into his arms, and said, "Okay." Don't get angry, don't get angry. “
Lin Xi buried his head in Huo Yunshen's arms for a long time, and said, "Huo Yunshen, I'm scared. “
Huo Yunshen patted her on the back and didn't speak, how could he not be afraid? Huo Qi seemed to have put all his energy into Lin Xi's body, Huo Yunshen had already done everything he could, but the more he cared, the more panicked he became, if Lin Xi really had any accidents, he really didn't have the courage to wait for the next five years.
Lin Xi sighed. said: "Yunshen." “
"Huh?" Huo Yunshen responded to her.
"What if Huo Qi's target wasn't me?" Lin Xi said suddenly.
Huo Yun was stunned for a moment: "What did you say?"
Lin Xi looked up at Huo Yunshen and said, "He always wanted to defeat you, didn't he?
Huo Yunshen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." “
If the target is him, that's fine, he can give it a go with impunity.
Lin Xi shook his head, hugged Huo Yunshen tightly, and said, "You promise me, no matter what the result is this time, don't let go." “
Five years ago, it was because Huo Yunshen insisted on protecting Tang Yu, so that misunderstandings were rampant, one wrong step, one wrong step, and Tang Yu came to a desperate situation.
This time, she didn't want to be kept in the dark again, and waited stupidly for Huo Yunshen to come back.
Huo Yun hugged her deeply and said, "Don't be afraid, there is me!"
He couldn't guarantee this, because he knew that if there was any danger, he would give up everyone and save Lin Xi first.
This decision, as if instinctively, did not hesitate and never went back.
